Subject: Re; Changing field type

Yes you are right. If you change a field type from editable (or indeed computed or computed when composed) to computed for display, it keeps the field value it had before.

You need to remove the data item from the document (ideally) or use a different field name.

To remove the value, use something like:

FIELD WhateverFieldIsCalled := @DeleteField;

within an agent and run that against all the documents in the database.
